Professional statement

Jessica Martin is a Mental Health Counselor in North Kingstown, Rhode Island with expertise in anxiety, resiliency, burnout, first responder mental health, mind-body wellness, and life transitions.

Many of my clients struggle with a sense of feeling "stuck," wanting to make a change but unsure how, and experience anxiety or depression as a result. We can embrace and use the chaos in the midst of major life transitions, such as moving, career changes, loss, welcoming a child, or marriage/divorce, when old wounds can resurface, triggering patterns of perfectionism, self-doubt, and relationship difficulties. During these difficult times opportunities to chose new patterns and responses can shape the life we had into the one we want. Embracing the muck through humor, nature, and conscious boundary setting change becomes a choice, not something happening to us.

When working with individuals, my approach is rooted in several evidence-based practices, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic movement and mindfulness. The common thread these practices share is a focus on helping clients reconcile their values and ideal self with their behaviors, so that they can begin to make targeted change. Additionally, they help clients understand their physical response to external stressors, and introduce ways to access a state of inner calm.

My first priority is the experience of their clients. together we will do the hard work to ensure you feel truly seen, heard, and cared for from the first phone call to the final session.

*Sessions are often supervised by Freyja the judgmental kitten and her doggy siblings, Wagner and Olive.

Message to clients

I can’t promise that therapy will be easy but I can promise that it will be worth it. Excavating the truth and core self can be a messy process. My practice is committed to helping clients see and feel progress- therapy with them is dynamic, active, and goal-oriented; I don't just smile and nod.
